Golf and the Good Life

Fresh off their first H&B Expedition, we talk with Jim Owens, PGA of Cherry Creek Country Club about the memories he and his members found in Scotland.

This episode of On the Tee with H&B heads to The Home of Golf where we checked-in at The Old Course Hotel. We sat down with David Scott, Director of Golf, to hear what’s new at the hotel as well as his insight on St. Andrews and how to take on the infamous Road Hole.

For today’s episode, we’re joined by noted author and photographer, Kevin Markham. Take one look at Kevin’s Instagram feed – @KevinMarkhamGolf – and it’s pretty clear why we invited him on the show. As you’ll soon hear, Kevin knows the links of Ireland inside and out, but he also joined us to share a few photography tips to help you capture better photos and memories during your Expedition.

Our mini-tour of The Highlands concludes with a visit to the jewel of them all, Royal Dornoch Golf Club. We’re joined for this episode by Neil Hampton, the club’s general manager, to learn a little of what’s new at Royal Dornoch as well as his insight on how to take on this historic links.

For this episode of On the Tee with H&B, we continue our tour of The Highlands with a visit to Castle Stuart. The four-time host of the Scottish Open is the new kid on the block in the region, but it has quickly become a must-play for anyone planning a golf trip to The Highlands. We recently sat down with Director of Golf, Jeremy Matte, and we hope you enjoy his insight on Castle Stuart.

Today we’re kicking off a series of episodes from The Highlands of Scotland. Our first stop is Coul Links, the proposed new course just north of Royal Dornoch which is inching closer and closer to a reality. We recently invited Chris Haspell, the Project Manager for the links, to join us on the show and share his insight on this exciting new development.

For this episode of On the Tee with H&B we’re visiting Ballyliffin Golf Club – the northernmost golf club in Ireland and host of the 2018 Irish Open. Ballyliffin is the kind of club that may fly under the radar for some golf travelers, but it has long been a favorite stop for our Members of the Forces. We spoke to the club’s General Manager, John Farren, about why exactly that is, as well as Ballyliffin’s long awaited turn in the sun this July.

Welcome to On the Tee with H&B. Today we’re delighted to officially kick off our new show dedicated to Golf and the Good Life across the pond. We’re joined for our first episode by Colin McLeod, Golf Services Manager at Carnoustie Golf Links. For obvious reasons, it’s an exciting year at Carnoustie, but there’s a lot happening at this historic links beyond the arrival of the Claret Jug in July.

The video and podcast versions of the episode are found below, and we hope you enjoy our talk with Colin.

Welcome to On the Tee with H&B, our new show dedicated to all things Golf and the Good Life across the pond. Each week throughout the travel season, we’ll bring you interviews with our golf course and accommodation partners, allowing them the opportunity to share a little of what’s new, as well as a preview for those who are counting down the days until their own Expedition. We’ll also invite a number of our Members of the Forces on to share the highlights from their recent trips, and feature the Field Reports they’ve shared along the way.

You can enjoy On the Tee each week by tuning-in to the video version on our Facebook page and YouTube channel, or by downloading the show in podcast form via iTunes.
